    Default Corvette down!

    499 miles into my new corvette and I started to notice the clutch pedal was sticking about 1" after I let out of it. I found out today there was a recall because the pressure plate has a pre-mature self adjustment

    As soon as I am ready for racing I'm calling out jayjaysti, collins, ievo, maniac, 4doorz06, thackerSS, and 350zFTW.

    499 miles, it is due to the new TH-6060 tranny. The pressure plate is not heavy enough.

    Maybe because of some noise your car was making when it pulled up.
